What exactly is bookkeeping and why does it matter so much for your business?  In this episode, Danielle Hayden, reformed corporate CFO and CEO of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., breaks down the basics of bookkeeping, explains how it supports your growth, and shares the real-life benefits of staying on top of your numbers. Whether you're just starting out or scaling fast, this is foundational knowledge every business owner needs.  Key Takeaways:  Bookkeeping Is Your Business's Financial Foundation: It's all about recording and organizing every transaction—sales, expenses, and everything in between—so you can make smart, informed decisions.   Cash-Basis Accounting Is Usually the Right Fit for Small Businesses: Unlike big corporations, most small business owners don't need complex systems. Recording transactions when cash hits or leaves your bank account keeps things simple and clear. Timely Bookkeeping Saves You Time, Money, and Stress: When your books are current, you can avoid overpaying in taxes, make better business decisions, and skip the last-minute scramble at tax time. Accurate Books Protect You in Audits and Increase Your Business's Value: Clean records mean you're IRS audit-ready, and if you ever need to sell or get a valuation, your bookkeeping can directly impact your bottom line. As the CEO, You're Still Responsible: Even with a bookkeeper, it's your job to communicate business changes and review your reports regularly. That's how you turn numbers into growth. Special Note for S-Corp Owners: You must have accurate financials to file correctly and stay compliant. That means both income statements and balance sheets—don't skip this step! Topics Discussed: (00:29 – 01:33) What is Bookkeeping and Why Does It Matter?  (01:34 – 03:59) The Difference Between Small Business and Corporate Bookkeeping (04:00 – 08:26) The Benefits of Accurate, Up-to-Date Bookkeeping (08:27 – 09:09) Why Cash Balance Is Not the Full Financial Picture (09:09 – 09:43) Special Considerations for S-Corp Owners (10:19 – 12:37) The Importance of Taking Responsibility for Tracking Your Numbers as a Business Owner   Book a Call with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: https://www.kickstartaccountinginc.com/book    Connect with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/Kickstartaccounting YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@businessbythebooks  Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/kickstartaccountinginc

Each month, the VA Office of Inspector General publishes highlights of our oversight reports, congressional testimony, and investigative work. In June 2025, the VA OIG published nine reports that included 81 recommendations. Report topics varied from an evaluation of VA's governance of recruitment, relocation, and retention incentives awarded for VHA positions to mental health inspections of the VA Salem Healthcare System in Virginia and the VA Philadelphia Healthcare System in Pennsylvania.  On Capitol Hill, Jennifer McDonald, PhD, director of the Community Care Division for the Office of Audits and Evaluations, testified on June 11 before the House Veterans' Affairs' Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. Her testimony focused on the impact of VHA's pause in using its Program Integrity Tool—a system that consolidates community care payment data that is used, in part, to determine if veterans or their private insurance companies should be billed for care that is not connected to injuries or conditions related to their military service. She also highlighted the OIG's work that identified deficiencies in how VA plans, implements, and remediates identified weaknesses in information technology modernization efforts.  VA OIG investigative efforts resulted in the conviction of a chief executive officer of a healthcare software company for a billion-dollar fraud conspiracy. Meanwhile, VA OIG investigative efforts in Louisiana led to the sentencing of two individuals for fraudulently obtaining federal pandemic relief loans.  Related Reports: Recruitment, Relocation, and Retention Incentives for VHA Positions Need Improved Oversight Mental Health Inspection of the VA Salem Healthcare System in Virginia Mental Health Inspection of the VA Philadelphia Healthcare System in Pennsylvania

Jul 7, 2025 – Thinking about moving from a high-tax state to a low-tax state? You're not alone—and there are crucial steps you must take to avoid costly mistakes. In today's Lifetime Planning segment, Crystal Colbert goes through the essential dos...

One common mistake organizations often make is using the terms "assessment," "inspection," and "audit" interchangeably. These terms have different meanings and serve different purposes in health and safety, making it essential to not confuse them. This episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast discusses the differences between assessments, inspections, and audits in workplace safety and features Michael Falls, health and safety management systems consultant with IHSA in the COR® department.Michael addresses each term and explains that assessments are systematic evaluations used to identify hazards and risks associated with specific tasks, processes, or environments. Inspections are routine checks of the workplace, looking at equipment, processes, and unsafe conditions. Audits are systematic, independent, and documented processes for gathering evidence and evaluating it objectively to determine how well an organization meets pre-established criteria.Michael states why each of these processes matters in workplace safety, providing real-life examples of each process, as well as explaining how they are tied to legal compliance. Common mistakes organizations make in assessment, inspection, and auditing processes can be avoided by understanding and applying the terms accurately. Misusing these terms introduces risks that can lead to gaps in safety practices, missed opportunities for improvement, and unclear roles and responsibilities.Michael also emphasizes the crucial roles employers, supervisors, and workers play in assessments, inspections, and audits, as their input and overall participation are critical for ensuring the effectiveness of the processes.

How many of you have seen a website teardown and thought “Dude you literally have 0 data, this is just a vibes analysis?”I have that thought regularly. And it got me thinking about heuristic audits as a whole, and trying to understand what makes a good heuristic audit good, and a bad heuristic audit bad. I enlisted the help of my mortal enemy Rishi Rawat to explore this. Vibes were immaculate, and he actually said some smart things in this episode (shocker - I know). We got into:- The critical missing ingredients to take your heuristic from ‘shit' to not only trustworthy, BUT valuable- Where many heuristic audits fail to be meaningfully impactful (despite being positioned as such)- An exploration of “expert” vs “non-expert” heuristic audits (and why both are incredibly valuable)Timestamps:00:00 Episode Start2:08 What Is a Heuristic Audit (With Help from Ryan Thomas)8:53 Good Heuristic Audits Are Systematic in Nature12:22 The "Goal" of the Heuristic Audit May Be More Important Than the Process16:20 The Importance Of Data to Informing The Heuristic Audit22:01 Rishi Actually Says Something Smart27:07 Heuristic Audits Should Highlight BOTH The Good AND The Bad35:29 Many Heuristic Audits Don't Simulate Emotion (Yet They Should....)Go follow Rishi Rawat on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rawatrishi/Go check out the homie Ryan Thomas: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryancharlesthomas/ Also go follow Shiva Manjunath on LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/shiva-manjunath/⁠Subscribe to our newsletter for more memes, clips, and awesome content! https://fromatob.beehiiv.com/And go get your free ticket for the Women in Experimentation - you might even be entered to win some From A to B merch! : https://tinyurl.com/FromAtoB-WIE

This includes 49 times under Republican presidents and 29 times under Democratic presidents. Some sources, like USA Today, suggest it has been raised at least 100 times since 1940, but the most commonly cited figure for the modern era (post-1960) is 78. Over the years, the debt ceiling has not been an effective mechanism for stopping waste and fraud in government spending. The debt ceiling is a legislative cap on the total amount of debt the U.S. government can incur, requiring Congressional approval to raise or extend it to allow continued borrowing for existing obligations, such as funding authorized programs, servicing debt, and meeting other financial commitments. Its primary function is to limit the government's borrowing capacity, not to regulate the quality, efficiency, or integrity of spending.Why the Debt Ceiling Doesn't Stop Waste and Fraud:  The debt ceiling addresses the aggregate level of federal debt, not specific budget items or program management. It does not inherently scrutinize or eliminate wasteful or fraudulent expenditures, which occur within the budgeting and execution of individual programs.   Debt ceiling debates often serve as political leverage for broader fiscal or policy negotiations (e.g., spending cuts or tax reforms). While these discussions may occasionally highlight waste or fraud rhetorically, the ceiling itself does not directly target or address such issues. For example, during debt ceiling negotiations in 2011 or 2023, the focus was on overall spending reductions or policy concessions, not specific anti-fraud measures.  Waste and fraud are typically addressed through other processes, such as: Audits by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or Inspectors General (IGs) within federal agencies.

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and this is episode 127 of EO Radio Show. Episode 127 is a "refresh" of our episode 13, first released on August 29th, 2022, which covered record retention policies, document destruction schedules, and why they matter. Many nonprofits today have heightened concerns about legal actions, investigations by the IRS or congressional committees, as well as lawsuits, and are proactively reviewing their document management systems and policies. Regardless of these current concerns, many nonprofit leaders are or should be aware that the IRS Form 990, which is the information return for nonprofit organizations, specifically asks the filing organization if it has a document retention policy. While there is no penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Code for not having a document retention policy, not only is it good form to be able to indicate "Yes" on Form 990, but also having a formal written retention policy is a best practice. In the original 2022 episode, my former partner, Aviva Gilbert, joined me to provide a real-world perspective on how a document retention policy plays out in practice when a nonprofit faces an investigation or is subject to a document request involving other outside parties. Her comments are as helpful today as they were in 2022.

Each month, the VA Office of Inspector General publishes highlights of our oversight reports, congressional testimony, and investigative work. In May 2025, the VA OIG published 11 reports that included 54 recommendations. Report topics varied from an audit of the VHA's Pain Management, Opioid Safety, and Prescription Drug Monitoring Program to a healthcare inspection to assess allegations of deficiencies in the emergency department care provided to a patient at the Martinsburg VA Medical Center in West Virginia.  On Capitol Hill, Deputy Assistant IG Brent Arronte, in the Office of Audits and Evaluations, testified on May 14 before the House Veterans' Affairs' Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs. His testimony focused on the OIG's independent oversight of VA's compensation and benefits programs, specifically how inadequate staff training combined with often unclear and inadequate guidance contribute to incorrect payments being made to veterans.  VA OIG investigative efforts resulted in the sentencing of four defendants for their roles in an $110 million healthcare kickback scheme. Meanwhile, a former nurse at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center in Houston was indicted for falsely claiming she had checked on a patient who ultimately died. Read the full monthly highlights at: https://www.vaoig.gov/report/monthly-highlights  Related Reports: Better Communication and Oversight Could Improve How the Pain Management, Opioid Safety, and Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Manages Funds Failure to Flag Fiduciaries Who Were Removed Results in Risk to Vulnerable Beneficiaries Deficiencies in Emergency Care for a Female Veteran at Martinsburg VA Medical Center in West Virginia

This Semiannual Report to Congress summarizes the independent oversight efforts of the VA Office of Inspector General (OIG) from October 1, 2024, through March 31, 2025.Visit the VA OIG's website to read the full report. For this six-month period, the VA OIG identified nearly $3.3 billion in monetary impact for a return on investment of $28 for every dollar spent on oversight. These figures do not include the inestimable value of the healthcare oversight work completed to help save the lives of veterans and ensure their access to top-level medical care.During this period, the Office of Investigations opened 256 cases and closed 213 (most opened in prior reporting periods), with efforts leading to 144 arrests. The OIG hotline staff triaged more than 17,000 contacts to help identify wrongdoing and address concerns with VA activities. The related work resulted in 598 administrative sanctions and corrective actions.The Office of Audits and Evaluations (OAE) produced 47 work products, including one VA management advisory memoranda on VA's progress related to reducing overdose deaths. Also included were 16 oversight reports and 30 preaward and postaward contract audits and reviews to help VA obtain fair and reasonable pricing on products and services. OAE reports for the six-month period resulted in 146 recommendations for VA improvements.The Office of Healthcare Inspections (OHI) continued to provide the oversight necessary to assess VHA's delivery of high-quality care and leaders' efforts to build and uphold a culture that prioritizes patient safety. Of the 36 oversight products OHI published in the last six months, 10 were for-cause reports responsive to OIG hotline complaints. In addition to seven national reviews, OHI released 14 healthcare facility inspections, three care-in-the-community inspections, one mental health inspection, and one vet center inspection.The Office of Special Reviews (OSR) conducted 21 investigative interviews and issued one report addressing VA's lapses in oversight of a grantee providing transitional housing services to veterans at risk for homelessness.

From capital expenditures to clever interpretations buried in dense lease language, Jason breaks down how even “airtight” deals can leak dollars—and how KBA's proprietary AI tools are tightening the screws. Plus, Jack and Jason dive into how AI is transforming unstructured financial data into actionable dashboards, the future of automation in lease management, and why “public defender for tenants” might be the perfect job description.

SummaryIn this episode, Sean and Terry discuss the complexities and challenges surrounding annual well visits in healthcare compliance. They emphasize the importance of physician involvement and the risks associated with allowing non-physician providers to conduct these visits without adequate supervision. The conversation highlights the potential consequences of inadequate patient assessments and the need for proper workflows to ensure quality care. They also touch on the role of medical assistants and the implications of billing practices in the context of compliance and patient safety.TakeawaysJust because you can, doesn't mean you should.Annual well visits require thorough physician review.Inadequate assessments can lead to serious patient risks.Medical assistants should not make clinical determinations.Physician involvement is crucial in patient care workflows.Quality control is essential for healthcare compliance.Audits and inquiries are increasing in healthcare.Preventive services must be properly documented and reviewed.Common sense should guide healthcare practices.Healthcare providers must take responsibility for patient outcomes.
